1.0 Overview
This is the README file for the sample loaded file system.
2.0 Preparation
To use this module, you must have a kernel the does *NOT*
have an existing "kernfs" file system in it. To determine
if your system has the "kernfs" file system in it, check
the build file for your kernel (usually this file is named
"/sys/i386/conf/GENERICISA") for the following:
options KERNFS
By default, NetBSD has this file system compiled as part
of the kernel; if you wish to use this example with NetBSD
you will have to remove this "options" line and rebuild
your kernel.
3.0 Directions
To test the module, do the following:
cd module
make load
A load message (the copyright) will be printed on the console.
You must then add the following line to the "/etc/fstab" file:
kernfs /kern kernfs rw 1 1
At the root prompt, type the following:
mkdir /kern
Ignore the following error if it occurs:
mkdir: /kern: File exists
Again at the root prompt, type the following command:
mount /kern
cd /kern
cat version
This will verify that the module is working correctly.
4.0 Recovering resources
The file system consumes 8 pages of memory when loaded; it
can be freed up by unloading it. To unload it, type the
following from the directory this file is in:
cd module
make unload
The file system will be unloaded by name.
